Volume 1: Zhao Shanhe Chapter 70 The Plan of the Dark Man
The city is far away from the bustling place, a place full of fish and dragons.
The huge mansion was now filled with a chilling atmosphere. The warriors in green, red, and black robes who were coming and going had solemn expressions on their faces, and they all looked like they were in a hurry.
In the entire mansion where the Three Swordsmen Association is located, even the servants are silent and cautious when doing things, for fear of offending these good people.
At this time, in a separate courtyard, a group of people looked solemn, and no one spoke for a while.
After Xu Liuqing's suggestion, everyone in the Taoist temple has moved here. After all, compared to the mysterious and mysterious protection of the legacy, the heavily guarded Three Swordsmen Association is always more reassuring.
Even Zhao Yuansong did not deny this and agreed that everyone should move here.
"So now the entire Qianyu City garrison officers and soldiers have been controlled by others?"
In the heavy atmosphere, Xu Qiqi couldn't help but ask.
As her voice sounded, everyone's eyes also focused on Xu Liuqing.
Seeing this, he nodded solemnly: "The four city gates have been sealed. Only entry is allowed but no exit is allowed. On the surface, all the garrison officers and soldiers appear to be no different from ordinary people, but in fact, there is hidden demonic energy in their bodies, and their minds have been controlled by demonic means.
.”
According to the investigation of the Three Swordsmen Association, even the garrison barracks in the city has been reduced to a place where evil energy is entrenched, and a cold feeling can be felt from a distance.
Now the entire county is sealed off, and the gates and walls on all sides are occupied by possessed officers and soldiers. If you want to force your way out, unless a second-level monk or warrior takes action, you will have to pay a heavy price.
Many people will die while trying to pass the level!
It's just that since the other party has sealed the city gates, they naturally don't want the people in the city to escape, so they will definitely leave secret hands at the four city gates, just in case someone from the second realm or someone wants to break through regardless of the cost.
"Now we are like turtles in a urn."
Liao Qiming, the young nurse of the Zhao family, couldn't help muttering to himself at this time.
However, as soon as he said this, he immediately attracted a few eye rolls. Although there was nothing wrong with his words, the metaphor he used made people feel a little strange.
"This man in the dark is really clever. He laid out such a big picture quietly. What is he planning?"
The middle-aged nurse said with a gloomy face: "Zhao family, county government, Baiyun Temple, Chenghuang Temple and the city defense barracks..."
Before he finished speaking, he couldn't stop shaking his head. He had no idea what the person behind the plan was planning.
And looking at the current posture, the other party is obviously planning to no longer hide it, and has decided to use all the means laid out.
He didn't even care about the majesty of the imperial court. If he really succeeded, I'm afraid not many people in the entire county would be able to survive.
"The top priority is to summon all the forces in the city and find out what the other party is planning."
Xu Qiqi spoke thoughtfully, then turned to look at Xu Liuqing.
The latter smiled bitterly when he saw this, neither of these two things was so easy to do.
Nowadays, not counting the various gangs in the city, except for the Zhao family, which has been wiped out, there are three powerful Jianghu sects. However, no one obeys the other. Even in the face of life and death, it is difficult to obey the orders of others with sincerity.
Moreover, people’s hearts are complicated, so how can they know that the other two families won’t be doing anything secretly?
Even if the situation can be broken in the end, I am afraid that I will also suffer heavy losses. What difference does it make if I am directly wiped out? Sometimes I will be replaced by other forces, and the end may be even more miserable.
The best way to resolve the concerns of several parties is to find Liu Hongsheng, who was once a hero in the world and later served as a policeman for more than 20 years and even the chief arrester of a city. Only then can all parties be persuaded.
convince.
It's just that Liu Hongsheng's whereabouts are unknown now. He must have sensed a little bit of the truth, so no one dares to believe it, so he has to stay dormant somewhere in the city for the time being.
"No one can be found for the time being. Liu Hongsheng is experienced and experienced. Even if he uses all the influence of the three sects, he still has no clues."
Xu Liuqing sighed: "As for the purpose of the person who secretly planned it..."
He shook his head, with a look of helplessness on his face. Even if the three factions combined their power, it was really difficult to guess.
It goes without saying that there are several places where evil spirits are entrenched, and their importance to the county is needless to say, but there is no connection between them, and it is difficult to guess the context.
"I may have guessed something about that person's plans."
At this moment, Ji Yuan, who had returned from outside, strode into the courtyard and said to everyone inside.
A group of people turned around to look. In addition to Ji Yuan and the others, they were followed by a young woman and a man and woman with dull eyes.
Surprisingly, it was Su Hongzhu and the senior brothers and sisters who came from famous sects in Tianhe County whose minds were controlled by her.
However, in an instant, everyone in the other courtyard stood up one after another and looked at Su Hongzhu with wary faces. The unconcealed rich ghostly aura on the other party's body and the tyrannical aura all made them wary.
Seeing this, Su Hongzhu covered her mouth and chuckled. She just wanted to tease these men, but for no reason, she thought of the murderous intent in the eyes of the little Taoist priest in front of her in Baihua Tower.
At this moment, Ji Yuan happened to glance at her, as if there was a sharp blade piercing into her non-existent heart.
So she just had a change of thought and put away her original plan. After smiling slightly, she walked to the side of the flower bed, seemingly admiring the flowers and green leaves.
"this……"
Xu Qiqi raised his eyebrows and looked at his senior brother.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuansong revealed Su Hongzhu's identity and finally said that he didn't need to worry about her for the time being.
As a result, everyone's expressions were slightly relieved, but they still did not dare to let down all their vigilance. After all, this was a ghost that had cultivated in the second realm, and its true form was one of the "Red Pink Skulls" among ghosts.
If Su Hongzhu suddenly bursts out and hurts someone, even Zhao Yuansong, who is also in the second realm, will probably be seriously injured even if he is not prepared at this close distance.
"Little Taoist Priest, I wonder what you meant by what you said earlier?"
One of the detectives spoke up, looking confused.
After his reminder, everyone recalled that when Ji Yuan first entered the other courtyard, he directly said that he had guessed the plan of the person who secretly planned it.
Hearing this, Ji Yuan, who had just sat down, looked thoughtful. He didn't know whether he should make it known to everyone.
After all, that incident not only involved the past of Qianyu City more than three hundred years ago, as well as a huge secret, it was also closely related to himself.
Seeing the hesitation on his face, several police officers and the Zhao family guardians wisely stood up and left, and were led away from the other courtyard by Weng Yang.
Not long after, only brothers and sisters Ji Yuan and Zhao Yuansong, as well as Xu Liuqing, Shen Lang, and Huixin were left here.
As for Su Hongzhu, who was admiring the flowers, she was ignored by everyone. It didn't matter whether she heard her or not.
"More than three hundred years ago, Qianyu City was famous both inside and outside the Chongqing Dynasty for its thousands of miles of jade veins."
After thinking for a while, Ji Yuan then spoke.
At that time, the jade stones contained in the Thousand Miles of Jade Veins here were all of the highest grade, and after many years of excavation, no mid- to low-grade jade with slight flaws had ever appeared.
The best jade is not only the favorite of the rich and powerful, but also an indispensable material for practitioners, whether it is for refining elixirs, refining weapons, or even making talismans and formations, etc.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Qianyu City at that time attracted the attention of the entire dynasty.
But one day more than 300 years ago, a Shanze Ye repaired his courage and sneaked into the depths of Jade Vein by unknown means.
The wild cultivator spent decades hollowing out all the thousands of miles of jade veins bit by bit, leaving only the most superficial layer. Then he found the depths of the jade veins, a piece of real treasure of inestimable value.
Immortal Li Ao - ten thousand years of chalcedony!
Ye Xiu took ten thousand-year-old chalcedony as a whole, refined it with top-grade jade from thousands of miles of jade veins, and even the best jade, and supplemented it with all the wealth he had accumulated for three to four hundred years, and finally created a stunning spiritual treasure.
On the day when the Lingbao was refined, a vision was triggered from thousands of miles away. A number of powerful people who had already obtained clues and were hiding around Qianyu City took action at this moment to fight for the born Lingbao.
It was in that battle that most of the prosperous Qianyu City was destroyed, and hundreds of thousands of people died. Even after more than three hundred years of respite, it is still only a third-class county town, and it will be difficult to regain its former glory.
.
Xu Liuqing had a solemn look on his face. Although he was one of the leaders of the Three Blades Society and had lived here for nearly ten years, he had never heard of this secret.
In the local chronicles of Qianyu City, there is very little mention of the disasters that occurred more than 300 years ago. They generally only mention the natural disasters that have not happened in thousands of years. Only those who are practicing know that the so-called natural disasters are actually the fights and killings of many powerful men.
the results produced.
But why are these great powers fighting each other, and what Ji Yuan said about someone using thousands of miles of jade veins to refine world-shattering spiritual treasures? Even the top leaders of the three sects have never heard of it.
This is a real secret. I am afraid that even the successive county magistrates have no way of knowing it. Only the big shots in the county and higher up may know some clues.
"But do these have anything to do with the current matter?"
Jiang He asked doubtfully.
If it is said that the person who secretly planned it was for that amazing spiritual treasure, even if it is not mentioned that so long has passed, you must know that at that time, there were many powerful people competing with each other, and it was probably that one of them had already taken it.
gone.
"What if that spiritual treasure was not taken away by anyone?"
Ji Yuan sighed and looked at the people in front of him with complicated eyes.
As his words fell, a group of people nodded subconsciously, and then their expressions suddenly changed.
Although I don't know why Ji Yuan knew such a secret, if the astonishing spiritual treasure had never been taken away, then the plan of the person who secretly planned it would have been revealed.
"For more than three hundred years, countless powerful people, as well as many sects and forces within the Dayu Dynasty, have come here more than once to investigate, but in the end they all came back empty-handed."
Ji Yuan's eyes flashed and he said: "That person has been secretly planning for at least a hundred years, in order to sacrifice blood to the people of a city, and to use some demonic means to lead out the spiritual treasure that even the powerful can't find."
This is why the other party needs to control the City God's Temple, the county government and the military barracks. Only in this way can the largest resistance force be disintegrated and use this force to oppose the county seat and blockade it.
Of course, this is also done to facilitate the person himself to carry out many plans and layouts in secret.
As for why the Zhao family and Baiyun Temple were plotted, it should be to make it easier to massacre the people in the city. Otherwise, even if ten second-level monks joined forces, they would not be able to massacre the entire county in a short period of time.
"If this is the case, I am afraid that many gangs and forces in the city have been infiltrated to varying degrees."
Xu Liuqing muttered.
Until now, he finally understood why Liu Hongsheng chose to lie dormant in the city, not contacting any forces and not daring to show his presence.
The chief catcher obviously also knew his importance in the current situation, and based on his years of experience, he guessed that all the major forces in the city had probably been infiltrated.
Once he shows up, I am afraid that he will be attacked and killed by the people in the dark with all his strength. It is impossible for the other party to let him, a person who can unite the forces in the city into one rope, live.
"I just don't know how many people are controlled among the three factions, and how many core members there are among them?"
Suddenly, Xu Liuqing couldn't help but feel a headache.
The feeling that the enemy is in the dark and you are in the light is not the most uncomfortable. What is really uncomfortable is not knowing who is around you and has been secretly controlled by the enemy.
"Maybe it's more than just control. It doesn't rule out that some people are willing to degenerate and make some kind of deal with the other party."
Ji Yuan said with a complicated expression.
In his opinion, I am afraid that the county magistrate Yuan Yongcheng has fallen into self-perception, and like Master Wu Hai of Baiyun Temple, he has fallen into the path of demons. This chapter has been completed!
